Charlton Athletic striker Matty Godden wants to upset his Millwall-supporting neighbours

Forward has recent record of scoring at The Den - Nathan Jones views tomorrow's derby as "a wonderful opportunity"

Matty Godden is hoping to be in his neighbours’ bad books this weekend - with the Charlton Athletic striker living on the same road as Millwall supporters.

The Kent-based striker recently returned from a knee injury which had sidelined him since the League One play-off final win over Leyton Orient.

Last season’s top-goalscorer has made substitute appearances in the last two Championship matches.

Godden has scored for previous club Coventry City at The Den. He got the first in a 3-0 victory over the Lions in November 2023 and also struck in a 3-2 reverse in August 2022.

“I’ve got Millwall fans either side of me at home so it’s important for me - I know what it means for the club and for the community,” he told the club’s official website. “We’ll be going out there and giving it everything we’ve got.”

Charlton will have around 3,000 supporters in the away end.

The Addicks have not won on the road since October 21, taking three points from a possible 24.

Charlton have not won a match against Millwall since March 1996. In that season they also prevailed in the away fixture in December 1995.
